- September 2019 - 1st Camino - CF, Burgos to Astorga
I'm two months away from camino time and really, really need to pick a route to commit to so I can get a modest amount of pre-walk-research done. Routes I've been more than casually contemplating over the past year are Primitivo, San Salvador, and Invierno. I still love the idea of each of those routes eventually, but think they might not suit a beginner. I'm a wallflower by nature, so the potential for the occasional completely empty albergue just won't do this first time around. I can't hang back and be shy if I'm the only person there - I need friendly strangers for that
Some details about me that might trigger recommendations to mind:
I have some religious/ spiritual reasons for walking. I especially look forward to visiting churches, cathedrals, monasteries & such (love medieval art / studied art history) and ending in Santiago is not a high priority. I'm flying in and out of Madrid and plan to spend a few days there to see what I can see either before or after my camino. I'm in pretty good shape and getting moreso in preparation for September and my Spanish is in the advanced-beginner range.
Which way?
